  • Rose Wylie 'Tilt the Horizontal Into a Slant'
    Rose Wylie Tilt The Horizontal Into A Slant 4 TILT THE HORIZONTAL INTO A SLANT TILT THE HORIZONTAL INTO A SLANT 5 INTRO Rose Wylie’s pictures are bold, occasionally chaotic, often unpredictable, and always fiercely independent, without being domineering. Wylie works directly on to large unprimed, unstretched canvases and her inspiration comes from many and varied sources, most of them popular and vernacular. The cutout techniques of collage and the framing devices of film, cartoon strips and Renaissance panels inform her compositions and repeated motifs. Often working from memory, she distils her subjects into succinct observations, using text to give additional emphasis to her recollections. Wylie borrows from first-hand imagery of her everyday life as well as films, newspapers, magazines, and television allowing herself to follow loosely associated trains of thought, often in the initial form of drawings on paper. The ensuing paintings are spontaneous but carefully considered: mixing up ideas and feelings from both external and personal worlds. Rose Wylie favours the particular, not the general; although subjects and meaning are important, the act of focused looking is even more so. Every image is rooted in a specific moment of attention, and while her work is contemporary in terms of its fragmentation and cultural references, it is perhaps more traditional in its commitment to the most fundamental aspects of picturemaking: drawing, colour, and texture. 8 TILT THE HORIZONTAL INTO A SLANT TILT THE HORIZONTAL INTO A SLANT 9 COMING UNSTUCK the power zing back and forth between the painting and us, the viewer? It’s both elegant It may come as a surprise to some, when and inelegant but never either ‘quirky’ or considering Wylie’s work that words like ‘power’ ‘goofy’.

  • Artist Billy Childish Comes of Age
    Artist Billy Childish comes of age Once known mainly for his relationship with artist Tracey Emin, Billy Childish, co-founder of the Stuckist movement – and a man of many names – has finally come into his own, writes Fionnuala McHugh 5 APR 2014 / UPDATED ON 15 MAY 2015 Childish in his studio. Photo by Fionnuala McHugh Billy Childish is a musician, a poet, a novelist, a photographer and a painter. Unless you’re familiar with the independent British music scene of the late 1970s and early 80s, however, you almost certainly won’t have heard of him. Until recently, he tended to be defined via his relationship with a rather better-known British artist called Tracey Emin, with whom he’d had a relationship in the 80s. If his name was known to the general public at all, it was because it had been stitched, along with many others, on to a tent in her seminal opus Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963 – 1995. One exasperated day, Emin yelled at Childish, “Your paintings are stuck. You are stuck, stuck, stuck!” As a result of this observation, the Stuckist art movement was formed in 1999 (whereupon the friendship with Emin foundered for about a decade). The Stuckists were against conceptual art of which embroidered tents, rotting sharks, blaspheming elephant dung, etc were only the most obvious examples. A core belief of the Stuckists was that “artists who don’t paint aren’t artists”, and although Childish left the movement a couple of years later, this is the way he continues to think.

  • Billy Childish Flowers, Nudes and Birch Trees: New Paintings 2015 September 10-October 31, 2015 536 West 22Nd Street, New York #Billychildish
    Billy Childish flowers, nudes and birch trees: New Paintings 2015 September 10-October 31, 2015 536 West 22nd Street, New York #billychildish Opening Reception: Thursday, September 10, 6-8PM birch wood, 2015, oil and charcoal on linen, 72.05 x 108.07 inches, 183 x 274.5 cm. Courtesy the artist and Lehmann Maupin, New York and Hong Kong. New York, August 11, 2015—Lehmann Maupin is pleased to present its fourth exhibition with British artist Billy Childish, a prolific painter, writer, and musician. The artist’s vivid oil paintings offer fragmented fields of intense color applied frenetically, often leaving charcoal marks and the linen canvas exposed, further emphasizing the immediate and intuitive nature of Childish’s work. The artist will be present for an opening reception at the gallery on Thursday, September 10 from 6-8PM. Working in traditional genres such as portraiture, still life, and landscape, Childish’s paintings are spiritually charged expressions that come from a place of deep personal meaning. These powerful works, including unabashed nudes, self-portraits, and dense woodland scenes, honor the simple nature of being and in the process transcend the ordinary. Eschewing any hint of post-modernist irony in his work, he allows the basics of personal expression to come forth through the fundamentals of painting. A self-proclaimed “Radical Traditionalist,” Childish has said, “The reason I honor tradition is that it provides a form and structure that allows freedom—the ego is subjugated and the requirements of the painting are met. Tradition is not to be worshipped or adored; it is a vehicle to take you to new places, or we could say to arrive at the perennial.” While he is occasionally associated with British groups like the Stuckists and YBAs, Childish does not see himself as connected to a particular contemporary movement; however, he is highly regarded and well known by his peers, including renowned artists Peter Doig and Tracey Emin.

  • My Bed on the Market for the First Time Yba Icon Sold to Benefit the Saatchi Gallery’S Foundation
    PRESS RELEASE | LONDON FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – 28 MAY 2014 TRACEY EMIN’S MY BED ON THE MARKET FOR THE FIRST TIME YBA ICON SOLD TO BENEFIT THE SAATCHI GALLERY’S FOUNDATION My Bed Mattress, linens, pillows and objects 31 x 83 x 92⅛in. (79 x 211 x 234cm.) Executed in 1998 Estimate: £800,000 -1,200,000 London – On 1 July, Christie’s will offer one of the most iconic works from the YBA movement, Tracey Emin’s My Bed, 1998, in the Post-War & Contemporary Art Evening Auction, London. Building on Christie’s recent success with Sensation generation artists, including record prices for works by Jenny Saville and Gary Hume in the February 2014 Evening Auction, and for a more recent work by Tracey Emin (To Meet My Past, 2002) in Christie’s October 2013 Thinking Big auction of sculpture from the Saatchi Gallery Collection, we anticipate a strong degree of interest in this work. A major piece that encapsulates Emin’s deeply personal work exploring the relationship between her life and her art, My Bed caused a furore when it was shortlisted for the Tate’s Turner Prize in 1999, prompting widespread public debate about the nature of contemporary art. As Francis Outred, Christie’s Head of Post- War & Contemporary Art, Europe, says: ‘In My Bed (1998) Tracey Emin shares with us her most personal space, revealing a dark moment from her life story with startling honesty and raw emotion. Her ability to integrate her work and personal life to a point where they become indistinguishable creates an intimacy with her viewers and asks us to witness her cathartic practice as a means of her survival.

  • Young British Artists: the Legendary Group
    Young British Artists: The Legendary Group Given the current hype surrounding new British art, it is hard to imagine that the audience for contemporary art was relatively small until only two decades ago. Predominantly conservative tastes across the country had led to instances of open hostility towards contemporary art. For example, the public and the media were outraged in 1976 when they learned that the Tate Gallery had acquired Carl Andre’s Equivalent VIII (the bricks) . Lagging behind the international contemporary art scene, Britain was described as ‘a cultural backwater’ by art critic Sarah Kent. 1 A number of significant British artists, such as Tony Cragg, and Gilbert and George, had to build their reputation abroad before being taken seriously at home. Tomake matters worse, the 1980s saw severe cutbacks in public funding for the arts and for individual artists. Furthermore, the art market was hit by the economic recession in 1989. For the thousands of art school students completing their degrees around that time, career prospects did not look promising. Yet ironically, it was the worrying economic situation, and the relative indifference to contemporary art practice in Britain, that were to prove ideal conditions for the emergence of ‘Young British Art’. Emergence of YBAs In 1988, in the lead-up to the recession, a number of fine art students from Goldsmiths College, London, decided it was time to be proactive instead of waiting for the dealers to call. Seizing the initiative, these aspiring young artists started to curate their own shows, in vacant offices and industrial buildings. The most famous of these was Freeze ; and those who took part would, in retrospect, be recognised as the first group of Young British Artists, or YBAs.
